DALLAS—Fountain Residential Partners is under way on a trio of student housing developments totaling almost 1,400 beds. All the campus-adjacent properties are slated for a Fall 2014 opening. They serve the University of Texas – San Antonio, the University of Houston main campus and the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.

The San Antonio project, Prado, sits across the street from the UTSA campus and is adjacent to the Block, described as “a new food truck court experience and patio bar.” Designed with Spanish-inspired architecture, the community will house 498 students as well as a 6,000-square-foot restaurant within a four- and five-story development.

Fountain Residential has been following this particular site for several years, reveals executive vice president Jon Clayton. “There simply is not a better location in the marketplace and we feel fortunate to be able to transform the property into a mixed-use community that the neighborhood, students and the university will be proud of,” he says. “It will definitely raise the bar for student housing at UTSA and matches the master plan vision for the future of UTSA Boulevard."
